You will start reading about how to do something and realize your model doesn't have that! I hate that! what is so hard about a different, pertinent manual for each model!

I'm having a problem with user manuals getting worse and worse these days. Sometimes there isn't one at all, you can't find it online either ... it wasn't just left out of the box. Good example: I bought a tire pump that runs on electricity from your car or house either one, nice. But for a manual it had a slip of paper with minimal instruction, written in bad english. I thought it was defective and almost took it back because I would have to keep pressing the buttons to get it to work, and I would smack it and stuff like that. Finally I realized you had to wait until the setting indicator quit flashing... this not mentioned in the instructions at all

this problem is worsening IMO and I find not much about it at all online, just things like this

What makes a bad user manual?

Bad user manuals are hard to read. You really need to put some effort to understand all the terms and break down long complex sentences. Terms are not explained, text contains just a few links/references. Good user manuals are checked with readability score tools

I have Bing Ai as part of my browser. Here's what I've done. Say "name of a product" and ask for user instructions. Instant user instructions or summary if you wish for relevant info. Or just how to do a certain thing. Also, I've done things like asked for top 15 tips for using a product, = numbered tips. Plus it links all the websites it got its information from.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

if we switch to wind and solar maybe we can cancel the upcoming Federal program to encourage the homeless to try assisted suicide. Clearly we will have to just start killing them if it keeps going like this

What is the carbon footprint of the homeless?

In 2008, three years after BP's carbon footprint campaign, an MIT study found that while the average American's annual carbon emissions were 20 metric tons, the average emissions among the homeless, living in shelters and eating from soup kitchens, were calculated at 8.5 tons of CO2 emissions annually

(I see the possible extrapolated jokes here, so you don't have to point them out) You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The homeless are doing a pretty good job of killing themselves already. 106,000 drug OD deaths in the US last year. Yes I know that a significant number of these deaths are not street people.

Sure would be cheaper and easier than replacing whole panels. That post was about using an explosive to push out the sides of something to its maximum uncreased size.

MIT does some pretty useless shizz sometimes, but it was probably a student.

People who generally sleep communally (when they sleep indoors at all), don't use power/water in the running of their own house, and also, generally don't drive would have a lower carbon footprint---who would have guessed that?
